1201.5 GLEN GRANT LIMITED (50 YEARS)
Glen Grant Limited 50 years
Glen Grant have announced the release of an exceptionally rare limited edition of its Speyside single malt, the Glen Grant 50 Year Old.
The whisky was distilled on 28th October 1963 then hand filled into a rather special cask by a young man named Dennis Malcolm. The whisky then slowly mature for 50 years until 25th November 2013, when it was bottled.
Only 150 bottles of this rare and exclusive whisky will be released globally and has been bottled at an incredible 54.4% ABV even after 50 years in the cask.
Each bottle of this rare Glen Grant 50 year old whisky is unique and handcrafted in every sense – presented in a hand-blown crystal glass decanter, masterfully created and individually refined by the skilled craftsmen at Glencairn Crystal, the last family-owned crystal glass company in Scotland. Each decanter is hand engraved, hand numbered and finished with the number 50 in 18-carat gold lettering. The design of the decanter is an exact replica of Glen Grant’s tall, slender pot stills – a creation of Glen Grant’s legendary innovator, James ‘The Major’ Grant.
It is housed in a copper-lined Scottish oak box – made from new oak, worked by a skilful cabinetmaker with a practiced carpenter’s hand and an astute eye for detail.
Each Glen Grant 50 Year Old comes with a certificate of authenticity, signed by Dennis Malcolm and every craftsman involved.
